The JOY of my diet!

So yesterday was another GREAT day for me on Ideal Protein. I stuck to it and ate healthy. Somebody asked me about my diet and what it intailed. Someone else said it was joyless. I thought about that and yes maybe I cant eat chocolate cake right now, or Cookies, or Yummy things like that but for me it if all about JOY. I am happy that I am taking care of myself. I am so happy that I have made such a change in my life. It is all about Joy. I need to remember that when I really want that cookie to make me happy....it wont make me happy. So thus far today I have been perfect as well. I even said no thanks to a cookie offered me in my class this morning AND I walked past the candy counter in the bookstore even though the valentines candy looks YUMMY! I said no. I said I want Joy of knowing I have the power to chose healthy options. YAY! I can't wait for Mellie to come this week. I get to see her and she is bringing me more IP food. Yay for chocolate soy puffs!
